Tyler Murphy

Tyler Murphy is the Lead Cyber Security Analyst at DeadBolt. He is responsible for the successful delivery of DeadBolt Data’s cyber security services.

His involvement with customer projects often includes that of primary cyber security analyst, pen tester, or forensics investigator.

Tyler joined the DeadBolt team in 2014. He brought over eight years of experience in cyber security to DeadBolt.

He holds a Penetration Tester Certification (GPEN) from Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC), one of the most highly-respected providers of Cyber Security Certifications. Additionally, he is certified as a Sourcefire Intrusion Detection Professional, Core Impact Security Professional, and Certified Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking professional (SANS/GPEN).

These credentials, coupled with his 10+ years of experience as:

Senior Cyber Security Analyst for 5 years with ISO New England, the entity authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to ensure reliable electric transmission grid operations and transmission services within the New England region

During his 4 years at the UChicago Argonne, which operates the Argonne National Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), he held Network Admin and Cyber Security Analyst roles in the Department of Nuclear Engineering

All of these positions have involved defending against cyber attacks—both random and targeted—which makes Tyler a rare individual who is well-prepared to deliver informative cyber security assessments and pen tests that contain informative deliverables including knowledge transfer regarding prioritized recommendations for how to best advance your organization’s security.

Tyler holds both a BS in Computer Science/Math from Lewis University. In 2016, he received his M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Connecticut. Contact: tyler.murphy@deadboltdata.com

During a pen test for a global financial services organization, Tyler was initially finding their external security to be rock solid, but then he discovered an unusual opening due to a smart refrigerator being attached to the corporate network only a week earlier. During the refrigerator’s installation (aided by an IT person), the factory settings—including the admin account—were never modified, nor was the refrigerator security tested internally or externally for vulnerabilities or active ports/services, as best practices recommend.
